Dermatology/Small bump

Question
Hello. I am 25 years old and have had a very small red bump on my check for years. It has never been big at all. It doesn't hurt and never has. It used to be a brighter cherry red circle with pink around it and a little pink inside it. However presently it is a bit pinker (the red areas being pink now) and slightly wider and flatter yet still small. Also if you touch it you don't feel anything (like a normal bump, wart, ect.)it feels basically flat although in the years past it has felt ever so slightly up raised but like nothing was really under it.  Also it looks a little like a spider Angiomas or at least that's the very closest thing I can find on the internet but there are no spidery like veins coming out of it. It has all ways been more dense and most of those pics don't match just the very small red ones (with out wide spreed vein things and pinkness). I have had no dermatologist look at it.I would send a pic but i don't have a digital camera sorry. I appreciate and help you can give it just bothered me when i noticed it had changed at some point. I guess I just don't pay any attention to it any more and I was shocked to see change. I just need to know if i should go try to remove it and if you knew what it was. Thanks
